Of Course the reasons for delaying are BS- Why they are delaying I can only speculate - but the fact they saidf 2016 or even 2017 and thye are not showng it at E3 makes me think they are holding the game back for reasons other than serious development problems which could be the other real reason for delay.
Nintendo lies about game release dates and delays all the time- they did it for the launch of the Wii U in a big way as well-
Does anyone really beleive they did not delay DKTF to cover a huge hole in their release pipeline?
Nintendo uses their games. particulalry their big IP, to entice as many people to buy the console as many times as they can- didn t they just reasure everyone in December that Zelda would be ready for 2015 release?
There are so many examples of Iwata and company not being honest/frank with their customers it would be foolish of anyone to take what he says along with his fellow Nintendo execs at face value for anything-
The sad thing is so many core and loyal Nintendo fans/console owners will beleve nearly anything they are told by Nintendo so Nintendo feels they can get away w it - However, IMO it seems a few more Nintendo loyalist "get wise" to Iwata and co each time they blatantly BS them - so it seems that core is shrinking bit by bit -
I bought the Wi U at laucnch for my sons 8 th b day- but i would never buy one at launch again- If I ever buy another Nintendo consol it will be the same way I bought the Wii, years into its lifespan after all but a few major games have been released
